A note about the National Anthem
OK, I will not allow the ass-ification of our culture to simply go un-opposed. Today I saw two of the worst renditions of our National Anthem outside of the excremental Rosanne Barr's version. Some silly, little yotch sang to open up the slaughter in Dallas, and since the Cuda declared this T-Day to be about slaughter, the first two games have been on theme. But back to this ridiculous excuse for a singer deciding that she would put so many BS trills in the song that Mariah Carey threw up. She was awful and watching her preen and enjoy how great it was that so many people were watching her made me throw up. She just didn't want it to end. I sure as hell did. She desecrated the song and I would have loved nothing more than Simon Cowell ripping her a new one saying that even as a jackass Brit he was offended.
Now on to the chump who needs a prompter for the freaking lyrics at the night game in Philly. He intones "FOR the ramparts we watched" Know the words to the only song you will ever sing that actually matters you stupid punk. He screwed up a few more times before actually causing me to jump up and threaten his f**king life (Literally out of my mouth, figuratively for legal purposes). He sang "Land of the Free, and the Home of the...." and then the bastard stopped and did one of those spin around snapping and pointing at the crowd moves to allow them to acknowledge how cool he was before he deigned to actually finish the song. OMFG!
We have a challenge ahead as those who know nothing about our culture, and don't like the things they don't know, try to remake America. It doesn't need a makeover, it needs a little respect. And pull up your pants.
